“I deeply regret the death of the 12 passengers and two crew members, victims of the plane crash that occurred this Saturday, in Barcelos. Our teams are working from the outset to provide the necessary support. To family and friends, my solidarity and prayers,” he wrote.

The plane was on its way from the state capital, Manaus, to Barcelos, about a 90-minute flight. The crash took place around 3 pm (Brazil time) as the plane was trying to land, CNN Brasil reported.

Brazilian media reports said there were no survivors of the crash. The aeroplane possibly crashed due to bad weather, the report stated, adding that it was raining heavily at the time of landing.

Investigators from the Seventh Regional Service for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (Seripa VII) were asked to report to the site of the plane crash, the Center for Research and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (Cenipa) confirmed in a statement.

The plane was an 18-passenger EMB-110, a twin-engine turboprop manufactured by Brazilian aircraft-maker Embraer, according to news agency AFP.
